When Zhou Qingfeng died in the wasteland, the Caribbean didn't go to South America, just remembering all the good things in North America. If you really go to South America, what else can you do besides mining and cutting trees? The people over there are lazy, piles of waste.
Zhou Qingfeng is currently invading North America in Mexico, where waste soil is being eroded. Various types of machinery and electronics are the absolute big heads for searching for things from North America through various channels. The various things searched need to be processed.
In Lehi, southern Utah, there is a fab that was originally a joint venture between Intel and Micron. This is what Xiao Yi intends to move to the real world. However, it was difficult to move the factory. Xiao Yi has not been able to find enough professionals. The equipment there will be scrapped if it is moved randomly.
Xiao Yi also thought about whether to reopen the factory, but it was impossible to control the Mormon Church in Utah. The semiconductor industry chain is too long to be complete without any link.
Although there is no way to start again, some of the workers that Xiao Yi has recruited will not be left alone. As soon as Zhou Qingfeng was ordered, he found a job for them-sorting out the "junk".
Freeman is an original foundry employee. He earned a master's degree in computer science from the University of Utah and worked at Intel's fab for more than a decade. He was supposed to test wafers in a cleanroom, but now he is a 'stretcher', staying with a pile of electronic waste every day.
"Ferriman, come and sign for it." Every day, the transportation team will bring in a variety of electronic waste, and the driver will ask Freeman to send the entire vehicle's entire vehicle to the warehouse.
There is a large maintenance and finishing workshop near the warehouse. Thousands of people are busy here, doing repetitive work every day. For example, clean up dusty electronic waste.
There are thousands of long tables in the workshop, and different types of electronic waste will be sent in different categories. Cell phones belong to the mobile phone department, computers belong to the computer department, and even differentiate by brand.
"Send these thirty HP servers to B7."
"For model 977, give it to Tony for inspection."
"Don't send these obvious damages to us and send them to the scrap area. The repair yield is related to our income."
Freeman's job is sorting, and he is very familiar with various electronic products. Valuable, ordinary, advanced, old, he can judge at a glance. This ability allows him to earn two or three times more than ordinary maintenance personnel, which is enviable for the last days.
For the Legion's large collection of electronic equipment, Freeman agreed. After all, no one knows when to return to life before the cataclysm, and equipment recycling is necessary. However, many strange things happened to him during the recovery process.
"These old Dell servers are sent to the refit area."
"These IBMs are broken? Find a way for people to fix it."
"Be careful to clean the dust in all the servers, especially the power supply with fans. I named them to make the goods look beautiful and new."
Freeman originally only focused on the equipment produced in recent years, but a few days ago the headquarters of the Aurora Corps sent an order to focus on collecting a batch of servers produced 10 to 15 years ago. It also requires thorough maintenance and cleaning to ensure that these servers look like they have just left the factory.
The order was strange, Freeman felt that he didn't need to deliberately collect a batch of old-fashioned servers. Because the global sales of servers each year are more than 10 million units, the number of searched servers is now large, the advanced ones are not used up, and the old ones are more.
But Freeman found that the headquarters of the Legion was not a joke. They seriously asked all maintenance factories to focus on cleaning up a batch of old servers ten years ago. The first batch was about 100,000 units. The key demand was for some well-sold classics. model.
Without management and understanding, Freeman had to do it. And after the production line he managed had hoarded several thousand servers for roll call, the Corps headquarters actually shipped a batch of server shells.
"Erase the silk screen of the main chip on the original server, put the 'radiation' LOGO on it, and replace it with a new shell?" Freeman didn't understand the order given by the headquarters.
The server can basically be regarded as an enhanced personal computer, which requires high stability and reliability. Some servers work until they are eliminated after they are powered on, but their performance is often good.
It's okay to clean up, but it's superfluous to change the logo and shell of these servers? Freeman has worked so many years and has never encountered such a thing.
It is easy to change the shell, and it is also easy to erase the original silk screen on the chip. However, it is a bit troublesome to re-launch the laser logo of
radiation
on the chip, but this is only a little trouble, and it is not an insolvable problem.
Soon, Freeman's production line completed the conversion of a thousand high-end network servers a decade ago. The first cargo was even shipped directly to Mexico by cargo plane, and received a good score in the test, which was personally praised by the head of the regiment.
Followed by praise were 50,000 bottles of whiskey and a variety of ingredients that were also shipped by cargo plane. These rare luxury items made Freeman's factory happy.
Because of the reward, the factory even took a day off, allowing workers to get drunk. Everyone felt that their work was respected and their efforts were not wasted.
Freeman, an important member of the quality management system, even received the award from the headquarters of the Legion. In recognition of his excellent work, the Legion even sent him women.
"Freeman, you lucky guy, come here." The director of the factory called Freeman to the stage at the celebration party, and announced a special reward to him in front of everyone. "You can pick one of these ten women as your partner."
The director showed ten young and beautiful women with a virtual projection, which immediately caused a whistle at Qing Gong. Many laughed and urged Freeman to choose what he liked.
Although the gradual stability of society has made women public again, the situation of having more men and less women is afraid that it will not change for many years. The Legion always likes to reward its partners with merit, which seriously violates the equality of men and women has caused great welcome in the Legion.
Freeman picked the woman he liked, and asked the supervisor by the way: "Just because the old server I made works reliably, the headquarters sent me a woman?"
"Do you think this is too easy?" The factory director grinned as he drank the whiskey. "We are afraid to repair tens of thousands of old servers next, and North America will need to get all kinds of electronic waste Millions detected. "
"Who still needs this kind of old server now? We obviously have more advanced ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Millions really don't know who to sell to? I think only a fool will need them." Fee Liemann was in doubt, but whisky was always real in his stomach.
The factory director just laughed, and there were many people in North America like Freeman, who refurbished and rebuilt a large number of servers and quickly shipped them to Mexico, which in turn were shipped to the real world.
Each blade and tower server is stacked in a transit warehouse, and their models and specific performance have been carefully studied to ensure that no information about another world is leaked. When Zhou Qingfeng played the game of hiding the sky, Xiao Yi asked indefinitely: "Is this really possible?"
"Why not?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in return: "This is our latest product of" Radiation Electronics ", an epoch-making new server, which has improved the performance by a whole generation compared to the existing server. Faster speed, greater bandwidth, more Good response.
I even prepared a lot of professional software to be put on the market. I still have a sufficient number of sources, and will never be out of stock in one or two years. This is our Fallout 1 series, and we will launch Fallout 2, 3, 4 in the future. I promise that other companies in the server market will fall through. "
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng full of confidence, Xiao Yi felt sad for his opponent for a while.
